It’s going to take a team of people with some mighty powers to stop him. Archie Comics’ two most renowned superhero teams are going to meet up for the first time ever in this special mini-series!
MATTHEW: I advance-reviewed this book a couple of weeks ago because I couldn’t wait to read it. I’m still gonna buy a copy this week, so that should tell you about this book’s quality…

Publisher: DC Comics

Has he forgotten his parents and the heritage of the Herculoids? And why is the equally godlike entity Animan eager to become a mentor to the new Dorno?
